Boutique hotels in Matakana

Matakana, an hour's drive north of Auckland, is a country village known for its Saturday farmers' market, wineries, a cinema and a creative community. The nearby coast has quiet beaches at Omaha and Tawharanui, and a few small lodges offer a countryside or vineyard stay.

Where to stay

Choose a lodge in the village or among the vineyards; the coast at Omaha is the best for a beach stay.

Good to know

The weekend market is the highlight. Many visitors combine Matakana with a Waiheke or Bay of Islands trip.
